Tucked beside the Piara Waters Pavilion, the new Piara Waters Library is a calm, light‑filled place to read, learn and connect. The building’s airy design and comfortable seating make it ideal for unhurried browsing, quiet study and relaxed catch‑ups, while flexible meeting rooms and dedicated zones cater to different interests across the day.
For those looking to make the most of library services, there are several standouts that suit a leisurely pace and varied interests. Curiosity Hour is a gentle, one‑hour session designed to encourage memories through shared stories—perfect for conversation and connection over life’s milestones.
If getting out and about isn’t always practical, the Homebound & Bulk Loan Deliveries service can bring books and other materials to your door.
A regular Justice of the Peace service is available for witnessing documents, which is particularly handy when life admin pops up. The library also offers public computers and Wi‑Fi and runs beginner‑friendly technology sessions at intervals, providing a supportive environment to build digital confidence.
For preserving family history, the Digitisation Station lets you convert old photos and videos so they can be shared easily with loved ones. Meeting rooms are available to book for book clubs, craft circles or hobby groups, and Special Collections provide curated materials for deeper reading. Details for all of these can be found on the City’s official Services page: Library Services.
Programming across the Armadale libraries includes activities that many adults enjoy at a relaxed pace, such as games mornings, family history research help, beginner computer courses and occasional author talks or community presentations. These sessions run throughout the year, with times and locations updated regularly. To see what’s coming up at Piara Waters and nearby branches, check the libraries’ calendar under What’s On.
Planning a visit is simple. The library sits next to the Piara Waters Pavilion and offers accessible amenities and a mix of quiet and collaborative spaces. If you’re booking a meeting room, the podcast/media room or a tech session, it’s best to reserve ahead via the relevant service page or the events calendar. Bringing a USB drive is useful if you intend to use the Digitisation Station. The City has shared occasional updates about parking works around the site; for the latest, see the project updates on Engage Armadale.
With its modern, comfortable spaces and practical services—from reminiscence sessions and family history help to technology support and home deliveries—Piara Waters Library is a lovely place to spend an hour or an afternoon.
